Lyrics

It's Alright to Fail

Out on the corner you look so pale Your ghost is wandering home But oh baby, it's alright to fail Your tongue is twisted Your teeth are nails They drove your voice from your throat But oh baby, it's alright to fail Tell me, don't leave Tell me, tell me Your heart is beating I hear it pound If you've got something to say Oh baby, please don't let me down Tell me, don't leave Tell me, tell me The night is coming I hear the wail of people crying alone But oh baby, it's alright to fail Oh baby, it's alright to fail
